"My jangada sails away,

My fate, you are so difficult..."

A piercingly sad story about the street children of the mysterious Brazilian city of Salvador da Bahia. Who are they, the "sand captains" who terrorize the entire city?

A gang of homeless teenagers, aged eight to sixteen, forced to wander, vagabond, earn their living through odd jobs, steal, and rob to survive.

"The sand captains are not like other children... They know everything about life, even the secrets of love... From childhood, they have lived the lives of grown men." They are victims of social injustice, and yet they are the only truly free people in the world.

In all of Jorge Amado's books, his homeland is sunny Brazil, which he has mapped, brightly colored, and brought to life. This is the sea, capoeira, fun, carnival, romance... The author loves his heroes, loves his country and its people.
